The 60 gig drive is full of mp3's, the 80 gig has VS.NET, MYOB, MSDN, my Palm resources, emulators, ROMs, and movies on it.
About 20 gig free through the 7 partitions I believe.

Why 7 partitions... Why so many, it downs the performance of the machine.
All thos Megahertzes to waste...
I'm running a P4-1.7 with 512 megs of RAM. My boss spoiled me with a new one. It even plays UT 2k3 very nice.

All of you guys are lucky. My PC is 850Mhz, and that's OK, but with only 128Mo RAM, that's really bad for a development PC. Just loading VC++ gets me close enough to that  . If I open almost any extra tool, I get over it... Speed is not every thing, and oftenI have to wait for a few second before my PC swap to another application 
Computers have enabled people to make more mistakes faster than almost any invention in history, with the possible exception of tequila and hand guns.

Indeed, when doing VC++ the pc is to slow, but dubbling/tripling the RAM only would increase everything to miliseconds (or somehing close)...
I've got this thing at home with my 733 PIII/256MB pc starting VC++ and MS Word takes ages to accomplish if I compare it with the PC @ work.
I'm glad my boss gave me a P4... Megahertzes are good!

*ahem* most of it arguably is. For example, I did download Monsters, Inc. months ago, but I also bought it last week when it came out on DVD. If that's legit or not is probably a matter for discussion. Most of the stuff I get on mp3 is stuff that is OOP ( I like obscure 80's hair bands, so sue me ), and the ROM's are mostly really old arcade games and stuff you simply cannot buy, like C64 and Amiga games.
Strictly speaking, and in a legal sense, I guess the answer is no, but I'm not downloading movies as an alternative to buying them, I'm just speeding up the process when I'm dying to see something.

It's legal to a certain point. If you own an original CD you may have one copy of it for you personal use, but if you don't or if you distribute one or more songs from the CD its illegal.
That's where they sewing eachother for. If you send a MP3 to a friend they try to make you hang for it. Even when your friend has got the original too.
I download movies too, but when the DVD/CD comes out I buy the original.

I have VS.NET and Win 2k on a 333Mhx PII with 384 MB ram lying around... it's ok as regards most things but the HDD's are soooooo slow.. .other then that it'd be fine for normal usage.

I have a PII 266Mhz. Ok ok. It's a ghost'd test machine which I use to test installs but it's almost antique. Smithsonian should be calling me any day now.
